NOTE
Please ensure you fully meet the JGC OM Performer Criteria for Open Mics, as detailed in this Call For Interest (CFI) and in the links below. Performer slots are available according to the following criteria.
We ask that performers be actively engaged members who embody the positive and supportive pay-it-forward ethos we have long nurtured within the Community.
We ask that performers have made an Introductory topic, ideally including some information about their learning path with JustinGuitar.
We ask that performers have shared recent audio-video of their playing in the Community Recordings section.*
We ask that performers have previously attended Open Mics as an audience member or performer.
Performers
There are, nominally, up to 15 performer slots available with an opportunity to play 1 or 2 songs. The number may be expanded if needed. Please reply stating your wish to be considered for a slot.
Remember to state your location & UTC time zone - helpful when planning the order for performers.
Performer slots are not allocated on a first-come first-served basis but there is a deadline.
The performer application window closes on or near to Monday 8th December after which a final list of performers will be published and performers will be included in a private messaging to arrange further.

Audience registration
Getting a seat in the audience is simple. Just reply to this thread stating your wish to attend. The Zoom link will be distributed before the event.
Thanks for your interest in the Community Open Mic. We look forward to seeing you there!
I would definitely like to take part and this year present something festive.
Have to heavily work on my song choices and track down in the next few days what works best for my fingers and throat!
Yes, found this lesson too, I remember this one and liked Mariah Carey - at least some songs! - and also love Justin’s playing on the acoustic!
Didn’t check the singing and I fear I won’t be able to do it this year, but maybe someone else will?
Edit: Now I was interested and looked at it - I know a part of the melody very well, but at other times, the melody is not so clear to me. I’d probably need quite some time to get used to it better, so maybe next year! But then, you’ll be ready too!
Unfortunately, yes. Too many uncertainties still there, like practice and preparation time. Finding a spot in our flat, where playing and singing won’t disturb little one’s sleep and bed time itself is still a little bit of a surprise from time to time.
Hello, Richard, I would like to attend the event (as a viewer).
I would also like to attend as a performer in the future - is there any link with setup instructions so that I can prepare in advance?
Thank you, looking forward.

But then, you’ll be ready too!
